Rumours
about
Ben
Affleck's
alleged
affair
with
his
and
Jennifer
Garner's
nanny,
Christine
Ouzounian
is
still
swirling
around
even
after
the
actor's
rep
denied
the
Us
Weekly
story.
A
close
friend
of
the
28-year-old
Christine
revealed
inside
details
claiming
their
professional
relationship
turned
romantic.
"What
started
out
as
a
flirtation
quickly
turned
into
more," the
friend
told
E!
News.
"...Eventually
she
couldn't
contain
her
excitement
and
spilled
the
beans
that
she
was
dating
Ben
Affleck...
she
told
her
friends
she
was
completely
in
love
with
him," the
former
nanny's
friend
said.
"Ben
told
Christine
things
that
led
her
to
believe
they
were
going
to
be
fully
together.
Over
the
course
of
the
last
few
months,
their
relationship
became
very
real
and
serious
to
Christine."
The
source
also
claimed
that
the
nanny
was
not
fired
until
Jennifer
"found
out
that
Ben
and
Christine
had
been
intimate" during
their
trip
to
the
Bahamas.

"She
was
not
doing
her
job
of
being
a
nanny," one
source
close
to
the
couple
told
E!
News.
The
insider
further
insists
that
Ouzounian
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
couple's
divorce,
adding,
"This
was
not
the
reason
they
announced
the
separation.
It
was
one
of
many
things."
"Ben
is
absolutely
not
dating
anyone.
There
is
nothing
physical
of
romantic
between
Ben
and
Christine,"
the
source
adds.
"Dating
is
not
his
focus
and
it
hasn't
been
his
focus
throughout
the
separation
period.
He
was
tired
of
Jen's
negative
energy
and
constant
berating-but
that
does
not
mean
he
cheated."
As
E!
News
previously
reported,
the
reports
of
an
alleged
affair
are
categorically
"not
true,"
according
to
a
rep
for
Affleck.
"It's
tabloid
journalism
hiding
behind
blind
sources,"
the
rep
added.
"It's
a
shameful
ploy
to
stay
relevant
for
the
magazine."
